The mission of Hope For The Hungry is to "Share the Bread of Life with a Starving World". God has called us to serve people who suffer from hunger that is both spiritual and physical. According to scriptural mandate, we offer food for the body and salvation for the spirit to those who do not know Jesus Christ and will suffer eternal death without Him.

4 Roofs & Goodbyes

Today was our last day of work in Haiti and it was a good one. We put our 4th roof on for a man named Augusta and his family. They were there living life amongst us as we worked. They were doing laundry, bathing children, nursing children, and preparing their meal. We just continued to work and shortly after lunch their house was roofed. We prayed for them and began to clean up. They were so appreciative of their new roof. We then went back to the boys home and did an inventory of the materials we had left. As we got back school had just let out so we got to play with the kids. We kicked a soccer ball, colored, played with bubbles, jumped rope, threw a frisbee, and sang we are the world with them. It was a fun time. We shared candy and cards that people had given from the states. After this fun time we began to say our goodbyes. This part was difficult, because we had grown to love so many of them. When we got back tonthe house the rain started and continued for a few hours. We are now packing up our bags and leave here early tomorrow morning.

Pray for safe travels and for god to prepare our hearts as we come back home. Pray for those who will continue work here: Jean Alix, Mylene, Rosena, Sinclaire, Paulvere, Angelo, Denis, and many others.

BTW We worshiped and rested yesterday and it was much needed. We were blessed to worship with our haitian friends. They truly worship god from the pit of their soul!
